He Sued for His Salary.

I never knew of more than one preacher
who sued for his salary and he got it. 1t
was in Franklin county. The leading men
wrote him letter guaranteeing that the
church could and would pay him a good
salary-one of these offhand letters which
churches noted for not paying will write.
He went and served them whole year &C.
ceptably, meekly and patiently. In fact,
they. were astonished at his patience. Then
he demanded all Of his salary that was due.
Again they were astonished to meet man
who was not willing to take just what the
church had seen fit to give him voluntarily.
But he told them they had caused him to
contract debts on the strength of the prom
ises made by their official members and
those debts had to be paid He went into
court, produced the letters written by the
officia al members, obtained Judgment and col
lected it. And he did right.-Rev. ]. E.

What Might Have Been,

Had Pari, seen Helen attempt to shoot a
cow out of the back yard, it is safe to say
that the Trojan war would never have been
waged and Homer would have been obliged
to take the Haymarket riot for an epic.
Had Anthony seen Cleopatra chase a street
car down dusty avenue of Cairo, it is safe
to state that he would have fled olsen
chanted back to Octavia, and the divorce
court lawyer decree quietly secured; no
publicity"-would never have made a cent
from him. Had Dante seen Beatrice fire a
half brick at the vandal hen which pros
pected for seeds in her flower bed every
spring, it is again safe to say that he would
have sent back her notes, her white mouse
pen wiper, the lava smoking set with "Merry
Christmas painted across the stern, and dis
continued that rocky courtship which he SUBJ
sequently celebrated in poem called "The
Inferno. '-Chicago hlter-Ocean.

Elepu ants at Sea.

The hosting into the air and lowering
elephants into the hold Of a ship is not only
an unusual sight to most men but also o
strange experience to most elephants. They
were dashed With strong ropes, slung as far
as practicable in Sings hoisted up with
cranes and three-fold tackle and lowered into
the steamers hold like bales OF cotton. When
in the hold they were placed in pens built of
strong teak timber balks, bolted to the ships
side to prevent them from breaking loose
The fear the animals suffered was the only
pain they underwent, and by watching the
eyes Of the poor beasts their terror was very
manifest Tears trickled down their faces
and they roared with dread, more especially
when being lowered into the hold, the bottom
of which was sanded for them to stand upon.
We are told that one timid female elephant
actually tainted and was brought to with
fan and many gallons Of water At sea it
appears that the animals got into a curious
habit of casionally-evidently at precon-
certed signal-sotting to work rocking the
ship from side to side by giving themselves
simultaneously a swinging motion as they
stood a5hwart the ship, the vessel rolling
heavily as If in seaway.-YoUth's Com
panion.

Some of the largest dry goods concerns keep

In answer to the question: "What are the
essentials of thoroughly good fighter"
Sullivan said:
''Pluck, skill, endurance and good head
on his shoulders. l tell you, sir man
fights with his head almost as much as he
does with his fist. He must know where to
send his blows so they may DO the most good.
He must economic his strength and not
score hit just for the sake of scoring it,
"What portion Of your antagonists body
DO you aim at when you are in the ring?"
81 endeavor," said Sullivan, "to hit my
man above the heart, or under the chin or
behind the ear. A man wears out pretty
soon if one can keep hammering away in the
region of the heart; blow under the chin
or behind the ear will knock out q man
quicker than a hundred blows on the cheek
or any other portion of the face. Now, the
Marine has a scar on his left cheek which he
received in his fight with Dempsey, and
which he will carry to his grave. He told
me that Dempsey kept hammering away at
that spot. If Dempsey were long-headed
fighter he would not have wasted his time
and strength in getting in there. That fact
alone proves to me that he is deficient in
generalship."
"You can tell pretty well when your man
is giving in?"
Certainly can," said the pugilist. 81
watch his eyes and know at once when the
punishment is beginning to tell on him.
And, when talk to man before stand up
before him at all, can make up my mind
whether he is fighter or not. There is more
intelligence required in this business than
outsiders give us credit for. "-Sacramento

The feats that can be performed on the
wheel are wonderful. To see a five foot
wheel rolling noiselessly along, with a rigid
wheelman standing nearly upright on the
saddle, is something Washington bicyclers
are used to- Riding "side saddle" stopping
and standing stock still while still in the sad
die and other feats are common enough. Tb.
performance that is not seen every day, how
ever, is one nervy young fellows pastime of
riding down the Capitol steps. Noone would
believe it could be done unless it had been
photographed simultaneously. There are
eighty of these marble steps, and the daring
wheelman can start at the top, mount and
continue safely on down to the plaza below
and roll down town as unconcerned as IL 1t
were only matter Of ante-prandial exercise
Another thing few have done and the posi-
bility of which is proved to us only by instan-
famous photography, is riding across the cop
ing of the famous Cabin John bridge, the
longest stone arch in tho world. This three
or four young men have done. TOTAL would
have been sure death.
In a place where everybody rides it is sur
prising how soon the average urchin acquires
the art A 4-year-old is not by any means
too young to try and the flyers make slashing
and daStlng wheelmen. Now and then the
youngsters carry things too far and word
comes peremptorily from the family physician
"That boy must be kept off his bicycle" But
to the boy who has half a body to start with
the wheel ordinarily brings out good strong
muscles and steady nerves. 1t is but a few
years since bicycling became so popular In
Washington, and the first wheel that came to
town is still as good as new and in daily use,
When ten or fifteen years more shall have
been added to the era of wheeling there is no
telling what race Of athletes may then be
darling about over these lloorlille pavements.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The prince who
ran his special car ON rails of glass and was
able to sleep as well while travelling as at
home in his palace, was no better off for the
most part than between 5000 and 1000 young
men in Washington. asphalt here takes the
place of glass, and wherever you go through
out this beautiful capital you find it lying
smooth, dry, dustless and clean as the floor Of
New England or Virginia kitchen. Had
the capital once been Venice and its canals
been filed up with molten tide of asphalt,
it could be no better than it is. And so it is
true that Washington is the paradise of the
bicycler. There are here upward of 1000
wheels and as many hundred tricycles. Win
ter and summer alike they go spinning about
noiselessly, conquering space for their lucky
owners with the speed of a race horse. The
bicycler goes where he will, and is as much
protected by customs and courts as the pedes-
trian or horseman His range of travel is
not circumscribed to any annoying extent by
Belgian blocks Neufchatel or the old fash
toned cobblestone Everywhere, or nearly
everywhere, is asphalt-1G0 miles of it, ir
avenues sometimes 100 feet wide and never
less than so feet. Americans can be proud of
this if they please: Washington has more
street area than any other city in the world

London, about the same; Berlin, 26 per cent. /;
